Iowa stands out as one of the few Midwestern American states—along with Minnesota and Illinois—that prohibit the private use of silencers. That could change if H.F. 384 becomes law in the Hawkeye State. Introduced by Matt Windschitl (R-Missouri Valley) last March, the bill would eliminate the prohibition on private possession and use of these items in […]

When I finally decided to get a silencer in December 2012, I was not sure that I would be getting more than one. I was nervous about spending a lot of money, especially when the cost of every new silencer includes a mandatory two hundred dollar donation to the federal government. It seemed to me […]

Silencers are selling like hotcakes, and the media is starting to take notice. In an article published on Tuesday, the Intelligencer/Wheeling News-Register informs readers in the Ohio Valley that most states do not prohibit silencers, and that more and more states are removing prohibitions on hunting with silencers. The paper reports that ATF has seen a substantial […]

Officers claim that during the course of the stop, they saw a rifle in Ellis’s vehicle that they identified as having a barrel modified […]

A hunter named Louis Knebel has apparently met with some success in working to end the prohibition on using silencers while hunting in Ohio. Unsurprisingly, his motive is a very simple one: to prevent hearing loss among his fellow hunters. He has been persuasive enough to convince Rep. Cheryl Grossman, a family friend, to introduce legislation […]

Being acquainted with hunting, firearms, and silencers before writing an article about them seems like a good idea, right? The editorial board of Raleigh’s News Observer would beg to differ. According to an unsigned editorial from the Sunday edition, when the state legislature lifted the state’s silencer hunting ban this past spring, it put the public […]

Firearms lawyer Joshua Prince has been mentioned here before for his firm’s great work on ATF 41P, the proposed regulations that would make it impossible for many of us to acquire firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act. But Prince isn’t just a paper pusher—he likes to touch off a few rounds here and there, […]
Occasionally, I talk to someone about the National Firearms Act registration process, with all of its hassles, and their response is “why not just skip the rigmarole?” The short answer, of course, is that staying legal, even when the laws you are obeying are stupid and unjust, has it benefits. As a firearms enthusiast, I […]
I have been a firearms owner for several years but it was only recently that I became interested in National Firearms Act (“NFA”) weapons. Specifically, I wanted to learn more about suppressors. Suppressors or “silencers” fall under the same set of laws that also regulate short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, machine guns, destructive devices, and the […]
